Are you looking for inspiration to feel healthy this Winter? Alongside chiropractic care, nutrition and lifestyle are essential to maintain a sense of wellbeing. Here are some useful tips for you.

Would you Like a Better Work-Life Balance?

Life can be busy and it’s easy to experience burnout. Finding a balance between work, spending time with friends and family, exercise and taking care of domestic chores can sometimes feel overwhelming. During busy times, eating well and preparing healthy food can often feel like a chore. It’s possible to live a busy life while feeling positive, energised and healthy. If you would like to feel more inspired, keep reading.

Would you Like to Learn how to Avoid Burnout and Overwhelm?

Some common burnout symptoms include chronic pain such as headaches, neck and back pain, stress, anxiety and sleep issues. Overwhelm and burnout can be the result of prolonged stress. Long-term stress which can be caused by challenging life events can take its toll on the body and its many systems, especially the nervous system. Although stress is just part of life, this in turn elevates cortisol levels creating inflammation and pain in the body. Stress can also suppress immune function. I will be sharing more information about this during the next wellbeing webinar later this month.

Would you Like to Learn how to Support the Nervous System Through Nutrition?

The brain responds to thoughts or past events and creates physical reactions in the body. Especially during stressful times, this reaction is referred to as the ‘fight or flight’ response or stress response. There are many ways to support the body during these times of increased stress through nutrition. Minerals are especially essential for supporting your nervous system. Unfortunately the food you eat contains less minerals than it used to. Specific vitamins, minerals and foods have anti-inflammatory properties which can help to reduce pain and have a calming effect on the body and your nervous system. This in turn combined with lifestyle changes and preparing healthy meals can support your nervous system and reduce inflammation.

Benefit From Specific Supplements This Winter

Minerals are essential for physical and psychological wellbeing with deficiencies contributing to chronic pain, stress and disease. The body requires specific nutrients and nowadays the food you eat contains less nutritional value. Intensive farming and the use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides has resulted in crops with fewer nutrients than 50 years ago. Choosing organic produce where possible is essential to ensure the optimum quality and mineral content.

During the Winter, it’s a great time of year to include supplements to support a healthy diet. As there is less daylight available, vitamin D3 in supplement form is especially required by the body. Immune boosting supplements are also useful for increasing our natural defences. I will be providing more information and supplement guidance during this month’s webinar along with discount codes to purchase high quality supplements that will support and optimise your health this Winter.

How to Stay Aligned and Healthy

The four pillars of health include nutrition and supplementation, hydration, sleep, movement and connection. Having a good understanding of these aspects of health and wellbeing can help you to feel positive and inspired. When all of these areas are in balance you can experience more energy, clarity and less overwhelm. Your health is important and investing in your wellbeing can enhance your life and your relationships.

I have the experience and knowledge to help you improve your health. During this month’s webinar, I will be sharing some useful tools to help you gain a better understanding of the four pillars of health. I will be covering the importance of movement and connection with others as this is a vital aspect of health. Along with good nutrition this can also improve mental health, focus and clarity.
